Then & Now for plants

Watch yourgarden grow

A plant changes a little every day, and you'll never see it standing there. A Plants album photographs it from the same spot each time and plays the season back as a timelapse.

Sample album: Backyard Maple
  • The same spot, every time. Ghost mode lays your last photo over the camera, so the pot, the bed or the tree lines up from week to week.

  • Health at a glance. Rate each photo 1 to 5, add a height or a note, and Trends shows how it's doing over the season.

  • A season in seconds. Play the album as a timelapse, from 1 to 0.15 seconds a photo, or slide from the first leaf to now.

  • A nudge when it's time. Set a daily, weekly or monthly reminder, so the photos keep coming.
